Usually I get something like looks like this:Exterior Landscaping - $3,800*Trim trees*Trim bushes, remove vines and vegetation growing on home, and remove small trees growing around foundation*Remove trees growing through fence and around fence line*Install fill grade dirt around foundation and level yard*Install mulched flower beds*Slurry seal drivewayTypically, they are going to charge to give a quote for a breakdown like this unless you have an established relationship.

So if you did do something with a 3 vs 1 bedroom unit, the square footage in the 3 bed unit is presumably larger allowing you to claim a larger percentage of the property taxes.If you're currently paying close to $1900 in rent, also consider how much you'd save by living in it.
